Need a Professional Resume Writer?
Did you know? The average hiring manager spends 15 seconds or less reading a resume. If he or she doesn’t get ‘hooked’ immediately, the game is lost.
Job seekers have always had competition, but today your competition to win a job is fiercer than ever. You need the best possible tools to stand out from the crowd. Your resume - standing alone all by itself - represents you to the world of hiring employers. That’s a big responsibility!
Here are some questions to consider. If you are not satisfied with your answers, this may be a good time to talk to a professional and assess how they can help you in your job search.
- Are you getting the interviews you want (and should be getting)?
- Are you getting as many responses as you think you should when you apply for jobs?
- Do you know what kind of job you want?
- Do you know what your career strategy is?
- Do you know about the idea of ‘positioning’ as marketers use it?
- Do you have the time, interest, skills, and energy to spend on writing a good resume?
- Do you have a talent for speaking about yourself and selling your abilities?
- How has your interview experience been? Do you tend to be the winning candidate? Have you been comfortable answering the questions that were asked?
- Do you have unique issues you are trying to deal with in your resume, such as gaps in employment, short stays with several employers, or other issues?
- If you were asked to describe yourself, would you be able to do this well?
- Do you have lots of competition for the jobs you want?
